Reaction to viral critique
Sherman apologised for engaging with the TikTok video that claimed SNL has "never hired a hot woman." The video, originally posted by user Jahelis and reshared on Twitter, prompted Sherman to tweet, "just found out i’m not hot. please give me and my family space to grieve privately and uglily at this time." She now wishes she hadn't drawn more attention to the comments.
During the podcast, Sherman openly admitted, "I shouldn't have fing said fing anything because she said some sh*t for attention." She reflected on her original tweet and expressed regret: "I was mad at myself for the tweet.”

"None of my friends care if I live or die," she joked, "but then I woke up to like a hundred texts from my friends being like, 'ha ha ha, look at this LOL.'"
The SNL star expressed her mixed emotions after seeing the TikTok video, saying, "I was sitting on the train just being like—I don't know—I just f***ing tweeted it, and I immediately regretted tweeting it." She admitted to being conflicted, as she initially wanted to respond with humor but later regretted adding fuel to the fire.
Despite her initial intention to respond humorously, Sherman admitted that her tweet unintentionally made the situation worse. "Ultimately, I wish I didn't say anything because then it just made it a bigger deal," she said.
